The Tire Industry Association (TIA) is accepting nominations for the 2018 Tire Industry Hall of Fame.
Deadline for nominations is July 2, 2018.
The hall of fame is open to individuals in the tire industry, including manufacturers, inventors, publishers, equipment suppliers, tire association executives, tire dealers, tire and rubber recyclers and retreaders. The award may be presented posthumously.
Inductees are chosen based on the following criteria:
- contributions of new ideas;
- practices promoting the well-being of the tire industry;
- service that is exemplary within the tire industry; and
- respect toward their peers.
Contributions in civic, cultural, educational or charitable endeavors will be considered, but are not a primary consideration for selection.
